Hey my Gorgeous Petunias!😀

Thanks for all of your comments on my apple piggy post. I had so much fun making that with my Sunbeams as our activity to go along with the lesson. Each week I find how much I haven’t grown up and that I’m still a little girl in some regards. Like how you can’t take the kitten out of the cat, you can’t take the little girl out of me. I just enjoy it too much.😉

……………………………………………………………………….

I had a lot of fun this past week at the Family Camp. I got to hang out with a lot of my friends that I don’t get to see very often and we had a blast.🙂 We had three dances (and yes, I danced with a lot of boys. They were all very sweet and very much like gentlemen, which really impressed me.), went canoeing (I went out twice: once with a friend and once with my dad, which was really cool since my dad and I both love canoeing, so it was a great chance to bond), went on a hike (it involved an arduous uphill climb at the beginning, but it was pretty smooth sailing after that), played Ultimate Frisbee (the other teens really made me feel special when playing it – they actually called me their secret weapon, as there was rarely anyone guarding me, and I happened to be a really great catcher; they were all very supportive and encouraging and it really made my day. :)) and Capture the Flag, wrote letters to my friends (I set aside the time to write personalized letters to each of my friends. I know it means a lot to me when I get one, so I wanted to do the same for them. And I wanted to thank them for everything they’ve done for me over the years. They’ve always been there for me and have supported me through the ups and downs of life. I am just so grateful for what they’ve done and wanted to share that with them.),wrote in myjournal, read my scriptures, went to an early morning scripture study class, and just hung out with my friends talking and laughing and giggling and sharing good times. I have a little extra time this week before my classes start the 8th and 10th, so I will be writing about my experiences in there soon.🙂

And not only were the activities fun, but the food was delicious too! I’m always impressed by all the delicious options they have there. And gosh, the “salad” bar was AMAZING! They also had an “oatmeal” bar (“a bar full of different toppings to top your oatmeal with” kind of bar) was a dream come true. So talking about the food, I thought I’d join Jenn’s party this week and show you what I had.

Here’s another What Kat Ate: Family Camp Edition!

(Note: I did not photograph everything I ate. This past week I focused more on enjoying the food than picturing it, but it was a delicious week nonetheless.)

BREAKFAST:

Bowl of BetterOats Pure and Simple MultiGrain Oatmeal (with barley, oats, wheat, quinoa, and rye) topped with dried blueberries, almonds, pecans, and dried blueberries, and dusted with cinnamon and covered with almond milk. I also had a few apple quarters with it.

SNACK:

[Reused picture, as I never got a picture of it up at camp.] I brought a container of hummus with me to camp, and whenever snack time came around the hummus always sound good. So that’s what I enjoyed along with baby carrots every afternoon. It’s one of my favorites pairs.

DINNER:

Another salad. I had a salad with both lunch and dinner while I was up there (yep – I took advantage of the wonderful selection). This salad creation involved mixed greens, sliced baby carrots, sliced cucumbers, sunflower seeds, sliced hard boiled eggs, pineapple tidbits, sliced celery, and diced avocado. Alongside a bowl of broccoli.

DESSERT:

[Another reused picture, as I didn’t ever have my camera around when I drank this at camp.] This usually involved almond milk and/or watermelon. Once I even had some chocolate chip zucchini bread my friend brought with her (which was quite good – one of Angela from Oh She Glow’s recipes in fact). Both were very cold and very delicious.

Overall, my week was delicious (and a WHOLE lot of fun).

Favorite Food Pictured? I’m a sucker for breakfast foods (always have been and always will), so I’ll go with the oatmeal. The salads were really good too though, so it’s a close one.😉

What are some of your favorite foods to bring on a campout? I love bringing things like hummus, almond butter, precut veggies, fruits, sandwiches, etc.

Excited about the new school year starting? I’m excited to start my first college classes in a couple weeks. Summer has been a lot of fun, but I’m really looking forward to the structure that comes with the school year.

Hey My Gorgeous Readers!

Thanks for your comments on my post on some of my favorite protein-rich breakfasts. I’ve had fun in the kitchen these past years and I am always excited to share a recipe with you. I haven’t had much time or energy to do much experimenting recently, but in a few weeks I should have some more time on my hands for some fun.😉

Time for another What Kat Ate (#15)!

BREAKFAST:

1/3 cup oat bran with 2 tbsp ground flaxseed, 1 tsp cinnamon, and a chopped apple stirred in. Alongside this delight I had 1 full egg + 2 egg whites cooked with no-salt seasoning (the organic kind from Costco) and a little seasoned salt. (I’m not to the point where I can eat 2 full eggs making it myself, as I used to view them as danger foods, but I’m taking it one step at a time.)

LUNCH:

I have to take my own food to my job, so this time I took an apple (or nectarine – I really like those too), ¼ cup almonds, and 1/3 cup soynuts. (I don’t always bring such a boring lunch – the one I brought today involved chickpeas and almond butter and such. But they always have to be something that can last out of a fridge until lunch, since I leave early in the morning to get over there.)

SNACK:

When I get home from my job, I usually am starving and grab a snack. This time I had myself a big delicious bowl of my Cacao Pecan Pumpkin Ice Cream. I absolutely ADORED the crunch the cacao nibs added to the bowl – and they are also high in fiber and include healthy fats for my skin, hair, and nails. Win-win situation.😉

DINNER:

A Morningstar Chik’n Breast Patty (x2) cut into strips (they are just more fun to eat that way for some reason ;)) alongside a juicy pear and 3-4 large stalks of celery sliced and frosted with peanut buttah.❤ (This was one of the nights that we fended for ourselves for dinner, if you get what I mean.)

…………………………………………………………………

I have been obsessing over YouTube music videos/songs this summer. I’ve found a few that I thought you might enjoy.🙂

I love One Direction’s song “What Makes You Beautiful” (click here for the original version by One Direction) , so when my friend told me about this versionby PianoGuys–it involves 5 Piano Guys and 1 Piano, and I just HAD to check it out. I was stunned. What a beautiful rendition of it.🙂

“Little Moments“ by Brad Paisley (I think this song is just very cute. :))

“Give Your Heart A Break“ by Demi Levato (I’m so glad that Demi is turning her life around after having gone through struggles with body image and an eating disorder. It’s so good to see her back in the scene as strong as ever. :))

“Footloose“ by Blake Shelton (This one just makes me want to jump up and dance!!, especially since I know a line dance to it!)😀

“One Step At A Time“ by Jordin Sparks (I love how this song talks about how life is something we have to take one step at a time. Just like how I mentioned above about how I can’t have 2 full eggs yet — sometimes you just have to take it one step at a time.)

Go check them out when you have some free time – they are some of my FAVORITES!❤

I’m going to go do some weights now and finish up a reading assignment for my scripture study class tomorrow night, so I’ll talk with you soon! Thanks for always being there for me!🙂

Favorite food pictured? I’m really loving my cacao pecan pumpkin soft serve right now – it is SO good and good for you!

What are some of your favorite portable foods to take with you for jobs? I’d love some variety for things to take, but it seems like I’ve run dry of ideas. What are your thoughts??

What are some of the songs you are loving right now? Please feel free to link up some of your favorites in the comments below!🙂

Thanks for all of your comments on my Easy Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars. They are definitely one of my favorites to make and take to parties if I don’t have the time to make something from scratch. And they are a hit wherever I go!🙂

Time for another What Kat Ate! Thanks,Jenn,for hosting this party! It is always so much fun!❤

A fillet of tilapia topped with seasoned salt alongside a juicy peach and a side of spinach with smart balance lite buttery spread.

SNACK:

A handful of each almonds and soynuts.

DINNER:

A bowl of vegetarian chili and a pear. (Pears have been one of my favorites since I was a baby!)

Yesterday morning I received a letter from the AP testing center with the results of my AP Physics and AP Literature tests. And you know what? I PASSED!!!! BOTH of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀 I am so excited right now. (I actually got the exact scores I was expecting to get on both of them; after I took them, I got a feeling of the scores I would get. It was kind of weird, but I guess that confirms how I felt. I knew I had put in the time and effort to learn and study for these exams, and I went forward and did my best.) I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father. He has always been there for me. He has never given up on me. He knows my potential and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Sometimes hardships arise, but I know He will be there for me and support me through them and give me strength to bear them. I know it is because of him that I was able to remember the things I learned during my preparation for these tests. I know He lives. I know He knows my by name. I know He loves me and that He wants me to become like him. He knows all of the rules (and exceptions ;)) of the English language and I knew I could turn to Him if I ever needed help with them. He is the Great Scientist. I am so grateful for the understanding He has given me of physics. He knows it all like the back of his hand, and I am grateful for everything He has done for me.

…………………………………………………………………………..

Would you ever have cake and ice cream for breakfast? I did it as a little celebration for passing my AP tests, and I know I will be doing it again soon.

Have there been certain foods that you’ve loved since childhood? One of those foods for me is pears. I have ALWAYS adored it. And hummus – hummus is another one that I’ve loved since I lived in Turkey at the age of 3.🙂

Did you take an AP test? SAT or ACT? A big final exam/test for certification in something you’re going into? I just took two AP tests this past May and just heard about my results yesterday. Another test that will be coming up soon (hopefully) with be my driver’s test.🙂
